CURTAIN PULL.

Application iled February 4, 1925.

This invention relates to improvements in curtain pulls and its particular objects are to provide a device of this character which will combine attractiveness of appearance and simplicity of construction.

In decorating the rooms of a house and following harmonious color schemes it has become customary to provide such iiXtures and appurtenances as may be possible, .of colors or combinations of colors which will correspond and harmonize with the general color eifect. The curtain pulls, which depend from the .end of the cord of the window curtain and serve as a convenient grip by which the curtain may be raised or lowered, are

quite conspicuous and when their color is made to correspond `with the color of the other decorations of the room a pleasing effect is added.

Very frequently a combination ot colors is used in the general scheme and by the present invention it is possible to very easily and conveniently combine two harmonious colors in the curtain pull or it the color scheme is a monotone a single colored curtain pull may be used just as conveniently.

The means by which the color combinations may be easily obtained and also the structure which facilitates attachment of the deivce to the curtain cord and also provides a simple and cheaply manufactured article are more fully described in the following de` scription and particularly pointed out in the claim, reference being had to the accompany ing drawings, in which,

Fig. l is an elevation, partly in section, of a curtain pull embodying this invention, shown attached to a curtain cord.

Fig. 2 is an elevation of the knob member of the curtain pull.

Fig'. 3 is an elevation of the handle member of the curtain pull, and 1 Fig. 4 shows the curtain pull operatively attached to the cord of a window curtain.

Like reference characters refer to like parts in the diiierent iigures of the drawing.

The curtain pull embodying this invention is composed off the knob member 1 and the handle member 2. The knob member is provided with a tapped hole 3 in its lower side which receives a screw portion i on the upper end of the handle. A small hole 5 continuing from and joining with the tapped hole 3 in the knob extends completely Sera1 No. 6,762.

through the knob to receive the end of the curtain cord 6. To attach the device to the curtain cord the two members are separat-ed and the cord 6 passed through the hole 5 and a knot 7 tied on its lower end which is drawn up into the tapped hole 3 to retain the knob upon the cord and the handle member 2 is then screwed in place concealing the knot 7 and providing an attractive appearing grip member by which the curtain may be raised or lowered.

The two members l and 2 are of a shape and construction which may be readily made on automatic wood turning machinery at very small cost and they are iinished by a dipping process to any desired color.

One of the chief advantages of the invention is that the handles and knobs may be finished in a variety of colors and, as the knobs and handles are interchangeable, a knob and handle of the same color may be used together or a knob oif one color and y handle oi' another color may be combined. Because of this leature a merchant may, byy

carrying` in stock a relatively small quantity oit knobs and handles of comparatively few different colors, readily combine knobs and handles of dierent colors to produc-e a great variety of color eil'ects to harmonize with .decorative schemes of th-e rooms in which they are to be used.

Although only a single design of knob and handle is illustrated in the drawing it will be obvious that the designs and shapes of both the knobs and handles may be altered and still permit lthe interchangeability between the knobs and handles regardless of design or color thereby adding greatly to the numb-er of combinations which may be.

obtained.

I claim:

A curtain pull comprising a knob having ,a tapped hole in its lower side and a smaller continuation thereof extending through the upper side, said .smaller hole being adapted to receive a cord with a knotted end upon which the knob is suspended, and a handle having a threaded portion to 4enter said tapped hole in the knob.

In testimony whereof I aiX my signature.
